New outline stroker from FreeType

FreeType recently received an update to its stroker, which supposedly fixes many rendering issues. And indeed it does!

Now that this is fixed, here's a quick comparison of old vs. new stroker.

The new stroker is available in FreeType git master and will appear in the next FreeType release (2.4.6).
